TeleGeography notes that the CEO of incumbent telecoms operator Oman Telecommunications Company (Omantel) has announced the company plans to spend an unspecified amount on its 2G and 3.5G (HSPA) networks during 2009. “We will expand our 2G network and increase the coverage of our 3.5G,” said Amer Al Rawas. Omantel launched its HSPA network late last year and the operator plans to offer new services such as mobile TV this year.
